Suggested Characteristics

Nobles are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. Some of the resulting traits stay with those who are cast out from that society. Perhaps you are still good on the inside, but are forced not to follow the law. Perhaps your sheltered upbringing makes you ignorant of life in the streets. Think about these kinds of things while choosing your characteristics.
